On April 14th, 2012, “The 7th International Conference on Advances in Steel Structures in conjunction with IJSSD Symposium on Progress in Structural Stability and Dynamics”, jointly hosted by Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Structural Division of Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, and organized by Southeast University, was held in Nanjing International Conference Hotel. The opening ceremony was presided over by Professor Shu Ganping, deputy dean of School of Civil Engineering, Southeast University. Vice President of Southeast University, Professor Liu Jingnan attended the conference and gave the welcome speech. Many directors from relevant schools and departments, including Wu Gang, dean of School of Civil Engineering, also attended the conference.
This conference aims to promote international exchange and negotiation, strengthen the cooperation between scholars around the world in the field of steel structures, and facilitate the development of steel structures, steel—concrete structures and aluminum structures, etc.. More than 200 experts and scholars in the field of steel structures world-wide attended this conference, 75 of whom are from countries and regions such as the US, UK, Japan and Hong Kong. The successful holding of this conference would further elevate Southeast University’s international influence on civil engineering, steel structures and other relevant fields.

Soft Story Risk Reduction: Lessons from the Berkeley Data
A Special Projects and Initiatives report to Earthquake Engineering Research Institute
Executive Summary:
In 2005, the city of Berkeley, California began a mitigation program to address earthquake risks posed by certain residential buildings. The program required seismic evaluationsof several hundred multi-unit woodframe buildings using specific engineering criteria.
The targeted buildings had been pre-selected as “soft story” buildings based largely on their appearance. This report describes a study of the program’s technical findings, asking this question: How well do visible indicators of soft story deficiencies predict the
results of detailed evaluations of those same suspect buildings?
In particular, the study hoped to derive a screening tool based on readily observable conditions. Such a tool would facilitate mitigation programs for so called SWOF (soft, weak, or open front) buildings in other jurisdictions.
But we found that no such tool exists, in part because the reported Berkeley data was too inconsistent to support statistical correlations, and in part because the traditional engineering metric, the weak story ratio (WSR), is inherently flawed as a performance predictor. So while the initial goal could not be achieved, the study did make a number of useful findings that offer lessons to engineers and mitigation planners.

Bentley Staad Pro v8 (SELECTseries 4) 20.07.09.31 (15 days trial)
Size: 442 MB
STAAD.Pro is a general purpose structural analysis and design program with applications primarily in the building industry - commercial buildings, bridges and highway structures, industrial structures, chemical plant structures, dams, retaining walls, turbine foundations, culverts and other embedded structures, etc. The program hence consists of the following facilities to enable this task.
Graphical model generation utilities as well as text editor based commands for creating the mathematical model. Beam and column members are represented using lines. Walls, slabs and panel type entities are represented using triangular and quadrilateral finite elements. Solid blocks are represented using brick elements. These utilities allow you to create the geometry, assign properties, orient cross sections as desired, assign materials like steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, specify supports, apply loads explicitly as well as have the program generate loads, design parameters etc.
Analysis engines for performing linear elastic and pdelta analysis, finite element analysis, frequency extraction, and dynamic response (spectrum, time history, steady state, etc.).
Design engines for code checking and optimization of steel, aluminum and timber members. Reinforcement calculations for concrete beams, columns, slabs and shear walls. Design of shear and moment connections for steel members.
Result viewing, result verification and report generation tools for examining displacement diagrams, bending moment and shear force diagrams, beam, plate and solid stress contours, etc.
Peripheral tools for activities like import and export of data from and to other widely accepted formats, links with other popular softwares for niche areas like reinforced and prestressed concrete slab design, footing design, steel connection design, etc.
A library of exposed functions called OpenSTAAD which allows you to access STAAD.Pro’s internal functions and routines as well as its graphical commands to tap into STAAD’s database and link input and output data to third-party software written using languages like C, C++, VB, VBA, FORTRAN, Java, Delphi, etc. Thus, OpenSTAAD can be used to link in-house or third-party applications with STAAD.Pro.
Includes Staad Foundation 05.03.00.32
